I was now less than a half-marathon away and could feasibly jog back home were an ill-fated mishap happen to the iron steed now, like another tire explosion. Traffic got even heavier between the Mishawaka Amphitheater (Mile 170) and Ted’s Place (Mile 189), and I was thankful for lights and reflective gear while on this narrow-shoulder highway. For about 20 minutes during this stretch, raindrops were tapping the helmet—curious considering the weather apps had claimed a 0% chance of rain. Indeed, there seemed to be plenty of blue sky ahead and to the south. Only two blocks away from Walden’s Shell gas station—the official turnaround point of the ride—I rode by three guys having a chit chat in front of someone’s garage when there was a loud bang.

She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars. It wasn’t nearly enough to wipe out the sleep debt from the night before, but at least the bed was more comfortable than the weeds. After that, I decided it was a good idea to let some air out of the front tire to obviate the risk of that one popping too. Whatever the case, my wish for huffy trail runner a relaxed, sit-down lunch stop at the Shell Station was now shot to pieces. I would have to bust out the wrenches and Phillips screwdriver to disconnect the rear coaster brake and undo the rear axle due to the lack of quick releases.

Grab coffee on the ride and carry it in the convenient beverage holder on the handlebar. The 26″ Huffy Deluxe Cruiser has classic fenders to keep you dry, plus special features like the padded spring saddle and dual-density grips and pedals for comfort and improved handling. Get ready to ride in retro style. There were much more cars on the road in the afternoon than during the wee hours of the day.

Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to. She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen.

This beautiful bike is the perfect ride for your girl who is ready for a bigger bike and loves to spend time outside. She’ll love every chance to cruise on the Good Vibrations bike from Huffy. While Huffy has been around for quite a while, they haven’t yet mastered the art of making cruisers like we have. Our cruisers are innovative, smart, and unique – just like you.

However, if you need any adjustments we are committed to making it right.

” The hope was I might be able to pick up another tube before heading back to Fort Collins. I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000. It was a particular relief to make it out of the Poudre Canyon shortly after the last remnants of daylight disappeared.

I’ve experienced this before, a result of over-inflating the Huffy’s tires. The rims on this bike were not exactly machined to military precision and don’t seem to “grab” onto the tires’ wire beads very securely. If the tire pressure is too high, the tires unseat from the wheels, allowing the tube to escape and pop like a balloon. So the night before I inflated the tires right up to what I thought was the “safe threshold,” which experience told me was 40 PSI on this bike (still 15 PSI under the maximum pressure labeled on the sidewalls).

A funny thing was that motorcyclists kept waving as I was crawling back up the pass. This has never happened to me before when I was not riding a motorcycle. Maybe they thought a cruiser bicycle with a round honking headlight was “close enough” to being a Harley-Davidson’s brethren? This classic cruiser comes with matching fenders and seat and a coaster brake (also called a pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection.
